Mares prefer privacy at foaling time. If possible, mares will delay birth until human observers are not around. Mares generally foal at night. One study, for example, indicated that approximately 80 percent of foals were born between midnight and 6 a.m.
Some mares may ovulate when the follicle reaches a 35 mm or some may ovulate when the follicle is much larger such as 65 mm. Optimal breeding is every other day while she is in estrus and before she ovulates. A mare will normally ovulate about 24 to 48 hours before the end of estrus.oal Heat. Many breeders will breed their mares during foal heat. Foal heat occurs seven to nine days after foaling and lasts for approximately three to five days. Often, a mare will not display the typical behavioral signs of estrus such as frequent urination or winking of the vulva.
